“You aren’t actually going to let her fight, are you?” Andrew asks as he buckles on his sword.
Ward turns to him. “No, at the first sign of them coming, I have someone who will escort her away.” He picks up his scabbard and buckles it on. “She is too important to this cause. She represents everything that these people have lost. They look to her for support. And as you have said, she has the wit but not the physical ability to fight yet. She could easily get hurt. But she doesn’t realize how detrimental it can be.”
“You do realize that she is going to try to murder you when she finds you after? She is going to put all that fight onto you.” Andrew laughs.
Ward can see it already. The Dark Ones coming over this hill, him shouting to Dedrick to take Taytra and get her to safety.
